El misterio envuelve este yacimiento Patrimonio de la Humanidad de 5.000 años. ¡Visite este monumento y decida si Stonehenge es un lugar que fue diseñado para el culto al Sol, como parte de un gigantesco calendario astronómico o algo completamente diferente! Una visita que inspirará a toda la familia, Stonehenge es un poderoso recordatorio de las impresionantes edades de Piedra y Bronce. Cada fase de Stonehenge era una estructura circular, alineadas con la salida del Sol durante el solsticio. Erigido entre el 3.000 y el 1.600 A.C., las piedras fueron transportadas cientos de quilómetros a través de tierra y mar, mientras se usaban astas y huesos para cavar los pozos que contienen las piedras. Las técnicas arqueológicas modernas, así como las excavaciones recientes, han ayudado a modelar las nuevas teorías acercas de estas losas, pero su propósito final continúa siendo un misterio fascinante. Llegadas a Stonehenge (información importante para Grupos) Ahora Stonehenge pide a los conductores de autobús y los liders o guías de los grupos que tengan preparado su número de reserva correcto al llegar a Stonehenge. Esto ayudará a los trabajadores a asegurar que haya la mínima cola posible. Durante las épocas con muchas visitas no se podrá ser flexible para la entrada de grupos que lleguen más tarde de la hora indicada. Aún así, se entiende que a veces pueden ocurrir los retrasos y se intentará acomodar los grupos lo mejor posible. Por favor tenga en cuenta que los grupos DEBEN BAJAR SIEMPRE en los sitios habilitados para ello y siempre cuando el autobús haya aparcado definitivamente. Si su autobús / autocar tiene la puerta para pasajeros en la parte derecha, vaya directamente al aparcamiento para autocares antes de que los visitantes bajen. Nota para Séniors y Estudiantes: Los trabajadores en Stonehenge pedirán una identificación válida a todos los visitantes que lleven una entrada para Sénior o Estudiante. Por favor lleve un documento de identificación válido en estos casos para que no haya problemas.

Description:
The Complete Vatican Tour is designed to give you a unique understanding of the history and world-class art collection of the Vatican. It shows you all the classics and throws in a few surprises to take you on a deep, artistic adventure in just over 3 hours.
The tour starts by skipping the (always long) lines to get into the museum and diving right into the galleries holding some of the most famous works of art in the world. The specially-designed route encompasses all the can’t-miss pieces while also including some of the lesser known works that will really dazzle you. Your expert, English-speaking guide will give you eye-opening insight and context (along with some great stories) as you explore the Raphael Rooms, the Belvedere courtyard with ‘Apollo Belvedere’ & the Laocoön group, the Pinecone Courtyard, the Gallery of the Candelabra, the Gallery of the Maps, and the Gallery of the Tapestries. The piéce-de-resistance is, of course, the Sistine Chapel. Your guide will prep you for your time here by telling you the stories behind the creation of the iconic frescoes as well as what they mean.
When you enter, you will then be able to appreciate the full majesty of the room, spotting little details like Michelangelo’s self-portrait and the rather painful revenge he plotted for the Pope’s aide (he wasn’t his biggest fan...) Finally, the tour will trade the artistic masterpieces of the Vatican Museums for the architectural masterpiece that is St. Peter’s Basilica. Traveling with a licensed guide has its perks, as you’ll learn when you use the special guides-only door leading from the Sistine Chapel directly to the Basilica (and past long general access lines). Built over St. Peter’s tomb, it took the best minds of the Renaissance more than 120 years to complete St. Peter’s Basilica. It was worth every second though, as you’ll discover during a 1-hour tour with your guide. They’ll lead you to Michelangelo’s ‘Pietà’ (the only work he ever felt the need to sign:
Your guide will tell you why) Bernini’s soaring baldacchino altar, and the well-worn feet of St. Peter, which pilgrims rub for good luck. While many tour operators fit 25 or more people into their Vatican tours, you will never put be in a group of more than 15. This tours shares that passion with you in intimate groups led by the most engaging, and knowledgeable guides in the Vatican.
